We use DNA‐fingerprinting to estimate the poverty reduction effect of adoption of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria. We estimate the counterfactual household income distribution of cassava producers by combining farm‐level treatment effects with a market‐level model. Our results suggest that ...

Poverty reduction effects of agricultural technology adoption: the case of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria
The leguminous shrub Cratylia argentea has shown to be well adapted to acid, low-fertility soil environments in Colombia. A small germplasm collection of 11 accessions has been evaluated across different tropical environments in Colombia. However, the species revealed the most vigor in the humid ...

The present situation of cassava cultivation in Caicedonia (Colombia) is studied after 8 yr cooperation between the Nat. Federation of Coffee Growers and CIAT. From an iitial 60 ha and 8 farmers in 1971, the project had developed more than 1300 ha (90 farmers) by the end of 1978. Yields have decl...
When developing breeding programs, it is necessary to take into account certain characteristics of the crop such as method of propagation (vegetative or sexual) and physiological factors affecting yield (i.e., the roots in cassava). Genetic improvement, as well as the specific breeding objectives...
Observations and recommendations on the use of the herbicide oxyfluorfen are included on the basis of research conducted at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) on its efficiency in selective weed control in cassava, effect on yield, rates of application, and possible combinati...
